Kenway’s Founder Brian King said, “Going through the process of marketing and selling your company is, for most business owners, a once-in-a-lifetime experience. It’s a massive undertaking, with a steep learning curve and an abundance of emotion wrapped into a stressful condensed timeframe. Working with Tom Stafford, Tim Meaney and Max Halstead from EdgePoint was an incredibly positive experience. They flattened the learning curve with their experience and wisdom. They inserted themselves where possible to take work off my plate. And they handled my emotions with the right combination of patience, tough love and empathy. I wholeheartedly endorse their services to business owners considering their exit options.”

Tom Stafford said of the transaction, “Brian and his senior management team have built an impressive firm with a unique and inspiring culture. We are honored to have helped Kenway to identify and select Svoboda Capital Partners, an experienced and thoughtful financial partner who will preserve and enhance Kenway’s culture, while guiding the Company through the next phase of its growth and evolution.”

David Rubin, Principal at SCP said, “We are grateful to EdgePoint for helping facilitate our new partnership with Kenway. They went above and beyond to make the transaction as smooth as possible. Their experience, guidance and leadership were exemplary in getting us to a successful close.”
